Playing with color

A little butterfly came out to play in the backyard yesterday. :) Poor little guy is missing part of one of his wings.

He is hanging out on one of our birdfeeders :)

While I was out, I took another picture of one of our trees. I just love the color in this tree. :)

And now that the baby afghan is finshed and ready to give,I can work with some colors. I pulled out one of my ripples to work on again. I love the fun and bright colors in this one. I havn't had much time to add too many rows to it yet. And its looking like we will have a really busy weekend. We have a "Hello 7th graders and Goodbye Seniors" party today. We have 2 youth that graduated this year and will be leaving for College this coming week. One of them is heading all the way to Texas.

Here is another picture to show you the full view of how the striping pattern is working out. :)

And just for fun, I made a bunch of colorful African Flower motifs. If you are on Ravelry, you can find the pattern here.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone :)

Happy Mothers Day!

Playing in the Dirt, Puppies

Here is a shot of 3 of the puppies. They are still looking for a new home. Hopefully someone will take them home and love them soon.

Over the weekend we picked up some pretty flowers. I had them inside untill today.The yellow ones are Daffodils and Tulips. I can't remember the name of the purple ones. I just know the purple ones smell wonderful. :)


And one last shot of one of the puppies.

The stitches used to join the squares together are a shell, chains and double crochets.

This is my newest set of dishcloths. I used Peaches and Cream cotton to make this set.

The color name is Passion.

Good Morning

It rained all day yesterday. It was soooo cloudy and grey out. It is still cloudy today, but the rain has passed. I went outside to make my morning rounds outside, and look what I found. My Tiger Lillys have bloomed. They look so beautiful. And the little drops of rain looked so pretty on them. I just love the way it feels after a nice rain outside.
